I encountered this question in some of my reading:
If gravity can leak out of our universe is it possible
gravity can leak in ( from another universe) ?
The presupposition that I find most curious about this question is:
Gravity leaking as if it were a material or ~fluid~. I get the idea of leaking as a verbal choice of words to depict 'loss' yet struggle with the following concepts.
As far as I know we measure gravity by its effects i.e. falling objects, repulsion, acceleration, etc. Yet science is not absolutely sure what it is as an element considered a graviton (tattva) but can view its affects as a force¹. I look to be corrected or reminded of the correct way gravity should be viewed.
Leaking to another universe - this for me is difficult to consider. I view the universe as uni + verse or Unity ( one whole) + diversity (the many). So universe is the unity of all diversity into One. One what? Some say 'system' others say macrocosm, others of spiritual intent may say the body of śiva. Yet my brain cramp is this - how can there be more then 1 universe if by definition it is all inclusive. Some would then like to offer the notion of a macro-universe composed of component universes , the same way a cluster of galaxies are called a super-cluster.
It seems to me this (macro-universe or super-universe) only adds complexity that is unneeded.
What if this gravity just leaks out of the universe and we are just not concerned with another universe. Well my question would be what would gravity leak into? Some would say well, space.
And my answer would be is not space a component of the universe ? How can it be separate? And where is the dividing line between universe and non-universe .
Okay it does not leak into space but into consciousness... and my answer is, this too citta or cidākāśa is part of the universe we reside in. The whole universe engulfs and holds within itself cittākāśa + bhūtākāśa +cidākāśa or consciousness-space, the element of space and mind-space and all that resides within these dimensions. And, it holds within itself dik or diś , the 10 directions¹.Perhaps ( just perhaps) when science breaks the code of unifying the 4 forces ( strong, weak, electromagnetic and gravity) gravity may show us its real nature. Yet for me this unity will not be done by pen and paper but by the realization of Being - then all forces are One.
praṇām
words
The force of gravity is in Newtons.
10 directions - diś is known as a quarter or region pointed at , direction , cardinal point. We know them as 4 + 4 + 2.
4 = N,S,E,W + 4 = NE, SE, NW, SW + 2= upa-diśām (up) and diśām pati some call dik-pati (below).
diśām or diśā = direction , region , quarter or point of the compass
